Patch Management Software

Devices that are offline are shown as unhealthy on the dashboard which I would prefer to not be included in the statistics. It does let me customise other health information though which is good.

I wish I could run patching/scripts on a scheduled basis if its missed, I think this is an upcoming feature.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OS and Software patching and showing at a glance which devices this has failed on, and most importantly for us being able to automate scripts on devices which helps us keep other aspects of the workstations up to date.

I also now have it monitoring my online servers as an uptime monitor to see if they are offline so I can find out before my users tell me.

It is also providing us with backups and I can quickly access them via NinjaOne to download a file a user has mistakenly deleted. There is also an option to do a full image restore which we have been able to do when transferring a broken workstation into a virtual machine which is something we would not have been able to easily do before NinjaOne.

We also use it for MDM to ensure that company owned iPhones are being updated and we can remote wipe them and change passcodes if users forget them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We usually used the Screenconnect Remote Access client. The Splashtop access does not always connect to the remote computer. It often failed so we found ourselves using Screenconnect. We also tried Teamviewer but their method of launching Teamviewer from within Atera is a little clunky.

Their hardware inventory reports leaves something to be desired. It's kind of hard to find, not named in a way that makes it easy to find. It has both too much information and not enough information at the same time - at least in a format that is useful to me. Often times, I would like to just get a summary of Name, CPU, Memory, Drive Size, to be able to tell if I need to replace an older system. Most of the available reports flood me with too much information (pages) that I have to slog through each PC one by one to get the information I need, and then I have to hand assemble that into my own summary that is much more concise.

Atera is a polished, well running experience, but I couldn't help but feel there were a couple things missing. Nothing I could ever exactly put my fingers on as they hit all the basics really well, but it may have just been things that I would only use occasionally. They are constantly adding and improving the product, which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We mostly needed remote access (ie, something that ScreenConnect or Teamviewer could provide) to provide remote support to our customers. The extra RMM capabilities where systems can be monitored, alerts given for low disk space, high temperatures, low toner, are nice. Proactive alerts are handy for knowing about potential problems before they become larger. We were small enough not to need the ticketing component, we usually solve problems on the first pass and don't need to track them, but the system to create and track tickets is good and worked well on the few occasions we had to play with it. The reports are handy, and extremely in depth - more than we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I do not have any complaints! Having been in MSP worlds for years and using every other tool out there, I can't seem to find an issue with this one! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multitasking by way of accessing devices remotely. I can be considerably more efficient using ME instead of walking to a specific location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I dislike about Tines is that when working with run script events, I really miss having a more advanced integrated development environment (IDE). I understand that Tines is not intended to function as a traditional development tool, but having a more robust script editor would be very helpful when building more complex workflows. Features like autocomplete, more advanced syntax highlighting, or better error handling could significantly enhance the experience of writing and debugging code directly within the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tines helps us solve the challenge of integrating various tools and platforms into one seamless workflow. We use Tines to connect our messaging platform with other tools, allowing us to centralize communications and actions. For example, we can create comments in external tools directly from our messaging platform, ensuring that everything stays in one place. Additionally, we automate task creation for our teams, assigning tasks through Tines by simply filling out a form. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to generate PDF reports from our tools automatically, eliminating the need for manual report creation.

Tines has also enabled us to integrate and automate workflows between tools that don't have native integrations. This flexibility has significantly improved our efficiency across multiple areas of our work, allowing us to streamline processes, reduce manual tasks, and improve overall productivity.

Red Hat Smart Management exhibits strong integration with Red Hat products, which may pose challenges if considering a transition to alternative vendors down the road. Additionally, apart from these overarching concerns, a number of users have expressed criticisms about specific aspects of Red Hat Smart Management:

1.Navigating and utilizing the reporting system can be somewhat challenging. 2.While capable, the performance monitoring features may not match the robustness found in some competing products.

3.The support for non-Red Hat systems is somewhat limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Improved security: Red Hat Smart Management can help organizations to improve their security posture by providing a centralized view of all RHEL systems and by automating patch management.

Downside is, Overall , in view of compliance sometimes PII uploaded to s3 can be identified with Macie. But when its an image or pdf containing photo copies of such personal sensitive information its hard to identify. It might be stored on the ec2 or s3. But figuring out it is complex. We do have OCR techniques in some services, which can trigger ec2 playbooks. Yes , it can be achievable with right problem solving technique and using the required services.

TeamViewer allows me to help my family and friends remotely, especially to perform security updates or updates from the Microsoft Store. The tool greatly simplifies technical support without the need to travel. Even when users explicitly give me permission to intervene, it can be difficult to explain the concrete benefits to them. Many do not realize that updates — even those automatically deployed by Microsoft — enhance the security and stability of their device. It is therefore important to remind them that they always remain in control: I can only access their computer when they authorize it, and only for the duration of the session.

Not a dislike but a feature I would like to see is ExtraHop move towards prevention. Currently, the product is good at identifying and detecting suspicious or malicious activity. Prevention can be achieved through integration with tools but it would be nice to have these native to ExtraHop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whenever we perform penetration tests, ExtraHop is always the first tool to detect the activity. Often times, the penetration testers will start their campaigns performing reconnaissance and trying to remain stealthy. Because they are not attempting to exploit vulnerabilities at this stage and may be using legitimate system tools, these actions would usually go unnoticed. By inspecting all network traffic, ExtraHop is quick to determine unusual activity on the network host even if it is not a managed device. The network traffic can be inspected by SOC teams and actions can be taken to contain the suspicious device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge is lack of name recognition as we leverage ENA as part of the services that we provide to our client base. From targeted marketing or more highly visible partnerships, the Entuity name needs more recognition in the IT Network world. They were purchased by Park Place a few years ago which has helped in some areas but not in the area of name recognition in the monitoring space.

One other area of concern, which is likely true with many vendors, but something we didn't used to see with the Entuity folks is they tend to defer instead of just coming out and saying 'no' to some questions. If we are asking for them to support something new that doesn't make sense to them we would appreciate a more open and honest answer. I recently met with their executive team and got those answers that their engineers will no longer provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do a trial and work with the sales engineers. As a hosting company we have a very large and complex network and produces situations that they could not handle. The sales engineers immediately took those to development and in roughly one week we had a custom hot-fix that addressed all of our concerns. And to our delight, all of those changes were included in the GA product release to the public. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest has been tool consolidation. When we are supporting a client that is having a performance problem, the ability to go to a single console to see all the network views that we care about (instead of half a dozen different products) goes a long way to reduce the time to resolution. Then on top of that are all the event management rules we can leverage to control unwanted noise and out of the box integration to our preferred enterprise management tool, BMC TrueSight.

Another major gap that we have used Entuity to fill is to have regular backups of network equipment configurations across many brands. There are still some gaps but it is narrowing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WE have transferred all the day to day work of the IT Finance team to Nicus. This has gotten them off of multiple spreadsheets and allowed better reporting. One team member told me that now the tools used are not the bottleneck but getting the reports from the cost center owners. We do all financial reporting out of Nicus now and the IT directors are used to seeing the financial reports in Nicus. We are now expanding to creating a Cost Model and generating the first Bills of IT to validate with the business side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment, we are fully satisfied with BackBox and have no concerns or dislikes. The product meets our needs efficiently, providing reliable automation, backups, and security. It has been a valuable tool for our operations, and we appreciate the continuous improvements and support from the BackBox team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BackBox is primarily solving the problem of time-consuming and repetitive network management tasks. The biggest benefit for us has been the automation of critical operations such as device backups and configuration restoration. By automating these processes, we significantly reduce manual effort, minimize human error, and ensure faster recovery in case of incidents, allowing the team to focus on higher-value tasks.

What I liked least was the volume of alerts received via email, as they were very repetitive. The default thresholds seem to be too sensitive, which generates unnecessary notifications. Additionally, I feel that the minimum requirement of 16 GB of RAM for the probe can be a bit complicated or restrictive depending on the available infrastructure.

Site24x7 has effectively solved the problem of complex and time-consuming device integrations. In the past, setting up monitoring could be difficult, but the platform's intuitive interface and step-by-step documentation have streamlined the process. This benefits us by significantly reducing the time spent on configuration and allowing us to deploy monitoring across our infrastructure much faster.

Additionally, it has eliminated the burden of manual reporting. The automatic generation of reports ensures we always have up-to-date visibility into system performance without manual effort. This benefits the team by freeing up time to focus on resolving issues rather than gathering data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If not configured correctly, settings applied through Nerdio may conflict with scripts, registry entries, Group Policy Objects, or other policies. While this is largely a user-related issue, having visibility into any downstream overrides would be an extremely useful feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nerdio offers robust yet straightforward configuration options for auto-scaling, which help boost performance and lower costs. The intuitive tools make it easy to automatically stop and start resources that aren't needed around the clock, using different demand criteria.
